Laparoscopic surgery incision reopen?
After having Laparosicpic surgery April 3rd 2014 (Gallbladder) ... i was outside helping my son getting air in his bike tire when after i notice my shirt had blood all over it. When i lift up my shirt i notice one of the incision open up by the belly button. I went to EMG and seen a doctor ... it was explain nothing could be done. Just keep it clean and the 1 inch wide 1/2 inch deep will slowly fill in over time. Is there anything else I should do. They said I should clean the wound from time to time, meaning just rinse it with water and pat dry? Can i put Polysporin in the open incision? Why couldn't they put one stitch just to keep it closed, as I feel it may have been surgically glued. I feel a little nauseous. Any help thank you in advanced

You should go back and get a second opinion, any direct open wound increases the infection risk anyway. They should have taken you more seriously!
Then again, you should not have done that much physical effort so soon after the surgery, not only because of the bleeding risk but also because the abdominal wall is still healing and too much straining can give you a hernia!
